This best-selling textbook meets the needs of students who will be directly or indirectly involved in the activities of merchandising and buying at the retail level. Mathematics for Retail Buying explains the essential concepts, practices, procedures, calculations, and interpretations of figures that relate to producing profitable retail buying and selling operations. Now in its seventh edition, the text has been reorganized and expanded to provide real world examples that reflect current industry practices and trends. A companion CD-ROM, now containing all practice problems from the text, allows hands-on practice computing retail buying functions and setting up formulas in spreadsheet format.
